Ecclesiastes 12:10-12

New Century Version

¹⁰ The Teacher looked for just the right words to write what is dependable and true.

¹¹ Words from wise people are like sharp sticks used to guide animals. They are like nails that have been driven in firmly. Altogether they are wise teachings that come from one Shepherd. ¹² So be careful, my son, about other teachings. People are always writing books, and too much study will make you tired.
